This one surprised me. Controlling a large zerg army in Brood War was really tough. SC2 zerg army control hardly even compares. Maybe he says this because he's gotten so good at boxing units? Either way, I'll take his word for it over mine  . | ||

I can't see any parts of JD's interview which obviously pertain to a negative stance of SC2 in context. Not only that, but you can't trust the 'exact wording' anyway because: a) it's translated, and b) the OP had a disclaimer at the start saying they were poor with english... lol. So my interpretation is that his stance was neutral, perhaps positive in regards to the growth and development of the game. But also that this is not a remotely reliable source of information for petty arguments. Certain members of the community will use any excuse to shit on SC2 (or BW, inversely). Alternatively, trolls who just like riling people up. | ||

I personally think that SC2's Zerg is harder to play than BW's Zerg, because in SC2, player should spawn larvae with Queens to produce units 'Zergishly'. This should be done during whole play time, so it requires more physical ability than before." This one surprised me. Controlling a large zerg army in Brood War was really tough. SC2 zerg army control hardly even compares. Maybe he says this because he's gotten so good at boxing units? Either way, I'll take his word for it over mine .Maybe JD just isn't used to the game yet. And no, I am not making excuses for him. He did, however, play BW for most of his life right? | ||

Many ZvZ matches in BW are decided by zerglings micro battle. It is very hard, and Jaedong won zergling micro battle most of the time, some young zergs actually won mutalisk micro battle against him quite often later in his career, but on zerglings micro, he is always the best. | ||

And just for education purpose, BW Terran is stronger than Zerg. Zerg just fits his style better. | ||

At least, that's what I've heard about it. | ||

He says zerg in sc2 is harder because of the injects (which are impossible to keep doing 100 percent right the entire game while doing all the other stuff) and because zerg in sc2 has NO micro. So it's a lot harder to get more results out of your army. Eh while the micro isn't intensive like terran splitting there is micro. Most people seem to think zergs just A move and win/lose. No if you just A move into an army unless you are ahead you are going to lose. For example. I have ling/bane and just A move into the terran Marine/tank army. If I just A move banelings hit whatever and zerglings take longer to get a surround. If you win the battle it will not be as decicive as if you had controlled your army so banelings hit groups of units and lings got a surround asap instead of waiting 5 seconds. Same goes with flanking, you just A move a flank without controlling the banelings or anything then you lose. Same goes in zvp as well, if zerg just A moves into a toss army with bl/corr/inf vortex will destroy the zerg and you lose. While again the micro isn't insanely intense or anything zerg has more to do then just A move. | ||

Such hard micro :D I've played sc2 zerg myself thank you. I'm also playing brood war zerg now and mutalisk micro, scourge micro, lurker splits, while casting dark swarm, consuming zerglings, zergling micro,.......... are a lot harder than the non-existant micro in sc2. | ||
